20th June World Refugee Day

The World Refugee Day is observed every year June 20 to raise awareness of the situation of refugees throughout the world. Observance of this day seek to draw attention to the plight of refugees and also to celebrate their courage and resilience and renew commitment to solve refugee problems.

2020 Theme: Every Action Counts

The theme for World Refugee Day 2019: #StepWithRefugees — Take A Step on World Refugee Day.

The theme focuses on that there is a need to take big and small steps in solidarity with refugees from around the world.

The main aim to celebrate this day is to increase awareness among the people by sharing the experiences of refugees and their stories. It also reminds people about the failures of an international community or home conflicts due to which people are forced to leave their homes. We can’t ignore the fact that UNHCR has taken big steps to support refugees and similarly governments and other private organisations should come together on national or regional basis to support and help in controlling the condition of refugees
